The crime of contagion

Article Abstract:

Tuberculosis (TB) is becoming a serious problem again in the UK, and this is prompting debate about how it should be treated. New Chief Medical Officer Dr Liam Donaldson is undertaking a review of infectious disease control, and most directors of public health believe that he will seek legislative changes providing for TB sufferers who refuse to comply with treatment to be confined, even if they are not infectious. Some observers oppose this approach, believing that it infringes civil liberties. Medical professionals emphasize that there is a need to support TB patients, including making available food, money and accommodation.

'I had two mad children to deal with.'

Article Abstract:

Disruptive behaviour is becoming increasingly common in UK schools. Some pupils simply refuse to listen to teachers, while others actually attack teachers or fellow pupils. Many teachers report being unable to cope with such children, who often disrupt the entire class and make it impossible to teach properly. It can take a very long time to obtain the appropriate help for disruptive children, even when sufficient funds are available to pay for this help.

Scots offer Queen a whiff of rebellion

Article Abstract:

There was a generally positive atmosphere surrounding the opening of the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, Scotland. However, there were clear signs of the tension between England and Scotland that remains unresolved by this Parliament. Scottish First Minister Donald Dewar did not emphasize the traditional Labour party view that the Parliament resolves the national question, and his speech was very nationalistic in tone.
